Bradley Walsh on the return of Beat the Chasers and The Coral have live music from home.

Bradley Walsh chats to Zoe about the return of Beat the Chasers on ITV. Plus The Coral have exclusive live music recorded at home from their new album Coral Island.

BAFTA nominated presenter Bradley Walsh chats to Zoe about Beat the Chasers on ITV. Back for a third series, Chasers Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace and Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis challenge contestants to face not one, but 2, 3, 4 or all 5 of them for big-money prizes. Bradley has just been nominated for "Entertainment Performance" at the BAFTA Television Awards for his part in the last series of the show.

The Coral have exclusive live music recorded at home for Zoe and they're on the phone to talk about the new album. Coral Island is the band's 10th studio album and was recorded in the chaos at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool. It was written and performed by the multi-instrumentalist and multi-talented line-up of James Skelly, Ian Skelly, Nick Power, Paul Duffy and Paul Molloy . It's 19 years since the release of their celebrated, self-titled, Mercury Music Prize-nominated, platinum-certified debut in 2002, kick-starting a decade of classic singles, including Dreaming Of You (now on over 100 million streams globally and gaining UK Platinum status), Pass It On, Don’t Think You’re The First and In The Morning.

Plus it's Friday so there's Zoe's Floorfillers just after 0730 as she gets everyone ready for the weekend.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests,  headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from Reverend Kate Bottley and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
